All my family members and loved ones have passed away. Naver got over my father passing when I was 19. Lived with my mother and sister for many many years. When my mother passed away I had an extremely hard time dealing with it. Then shortly after that, my sister who was the last family member I had left passed away from cancer. I lost everyone that I was close to. My fathe,r my mother, my sister, my dog, my favorite uncle and my grandmother. Living with my mother and my sister for so many years. All of a sudden, them not to be here was such a shock. On top of that I have tons and tons of regrets for either things that I did or didn't do, some going back years. I went to a grief support group but it didn't help at all. My family was everything to me and being without them is just devastating. The only way to describe it is that it just feels like torture without them. 😭
I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense losses you've experienced, @jenniferpetrellicarslearni2265. The pain and void left by the passing of so many close to you are understandably overwhelming. It's clear your family and loved ones played a significant role in your life, and adjusting to their absence is a profound challenge. Grieving such profound losses can indeed feel like torture, as you've described. While a support group didn't provide the relief you were hoping for, it's important to acknowledge that healing from grief is a highly personal process that varies greatly from one person to another. It might be helpful to explore different forms of support, such as one-on-one counseling with a therapist who specializes in grief. They can offer a safe space to navigate through your feelings of loss and regret, helping you find ways to cope that are meaningful to you. Sometimes, finding a new routine or way to honor the memories of your loved ones can also bring solace. Whether it's through memorializing their lives in a special way or engaging in activities they loved or you enjoyed together, these actions can keep their spirit alive in your heart and help you to gradually find a path forward. Remember, it's okay to not be okay, and reaching out for help is a strength. Your journey through grief is uniquely yours, but you don't have to walk it alone.
